Don't You Just Hate Scratches On Your Car And Want Them Disappeared At Once

One of the most common fears of owning a car is getting your car scratched. Will you be able to fix it yourself or will you have to go to a garage? Many people do not see a mechanic for something so trivial and attempt to fix it themselves. For small scratches, you can get away with it but for deeper and wider ones, the finishing touch may not turn out so good.

How to remove car scratch?

There are many products on the market that claim to remove scratches from car but how well do they work and how expensive are they? The most common method of removing car scratches is to use T-Cut - it's a liquid that comes in many different colours. It works through the application of a little bit of the product on a piece of cloth and rubbing it in circular motions; this way it will fill the scratch with the colour fill and it will no longer be visible.

There are scratch remover pens which have very convincing adverts. The pen is glided over the scratch and will literally disappear. It doesn't matter what colour the car is as the pen works on all cars. The scratch is filled with a liquid and then polished, making the scratch invisible.

With so many products on the market, it's impossible to list them all here so if you are ever in the situation where you need to remove scratches from your car, ask friends and family for a product which they've tried and can be recommended and read the reviews about that product first before you rush into buying it. You can save a lot of money by repairing the scratch yourself but you need to be careful as you can make the scratch worse if you don't know what you need to do. It's advisable to consult a mechanic if you find yourself in such a situation.

How to prevent cars from getting scratched?

• Avoid parking near bushes as they are likely to scratch doors.
• If you have long bails, be careful when opening doors on the outside.
• Be careful when parking in bays; don't park too close to other cars on either side as opening doors can scratch yours.
• If parking off road, be careful if you have a new or really sought after car as people are more likely to be jealous and want to key it.
• If purchasing a second hand vehicle, inspect thoroughly before driving away as the dealer may not accept responsibility for flaws you may find after driving off.

Scuffs are not the same as scratches; scuffs happen when you have a scrape on the vehicle. In most cases you cannot use any of the methods above to conceal scuffs and you will need some paintwork done to disguise or cover it.
